Deerfield, Illinois school district says parents are being sent unsanctioned survey
Deerfield Public Schools District 109 says members of the school community have received text or email messages for an unsanctioned survey.
In an email to parents, the district said they have been made aware of "text or email messages asking [community members] to complete a survey about Deerfield school. This survey is not from District 109."
The district said it does not know who is sending out the survey, or why. They said they informed parents of the situation in order to protect the district's integrity and the community's privacy.
The survey has at least one question that appears to be related to a controversy that was ignited when a junior high school student's mother raised concerns at a board meeting about her child having to change in a locker room with a transgender student.
The survey being sent to parents asks, "How closely have you been following the controversy at the Deerfield Public School District 109 Junior High School regarding the use of girl's locker room by a transgender girl (biological male)?"
The district had no further comment Wednesday.
